Gender & Body Language: The Mechanics of Public Speaking

Gender & Body Language: The Mechanics of Public Speaking A
Workshop with Allison Shapira 6-7:30PM Tuesday, March 4, 2014 Cason
Room, Taubman 102 Harvard Kennedy School Confident or aggressive?
Persuasive or pushy? Empathetic or Emotional? Gender biases heavily
shape audience perception. For both men and women in the public
sphere, understanding how audiences react to speakers of different
genders can help to negotiate this dynamic. The workshop will
address how we filter body language, tone, style and content
through a gendered lens and how speakers may leverage this
understanding in developing their own speaking style and finding an
authentic voice. More Information available at:
